Well, that proves the shared library wasn't broken, but it leaves us
no wiser about what the problem really was. I'd like to keep after it.
I tried configuring with a trailing "/" on a Red Hat 8.0 box here, and
it seemed to work just fine. You did not specify what Red Hat release
you were using, but I suspect that idea is a dead end.
You could investigate further without having to reinitdb, just try the
CREATE FUNCTION command in psql:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dummy (INTEGER, INTEGER, CSTRING, CSTRING,INTEGER)
RETURNS VOID AS '$libdir/ascii_and_mic', 'ascii_to_mic' LANGUAGE 'c' STRICT;
I expect this will fail as before. Could you strace the attached
backend process while it's trying to do this command?
